The MotoGP Catalan GP is taking place this weekend, and before the on-track action begins, there will be an exceptional press conference with Aleix Espargaró on Thursday afternoon.
Scheduled for 15:15 (CET time), the content of this press conference is currently unknown. The rider, who currently represents Aprilia, is without a contract for the next season.
At nearly 35 years old, the possibility of retirement is one that Espargaró himself has not ruled out. He could potentially become a test rider for the Noale manufacturer.
Given that the Catalan GP is his home round, announcing his departure from MotoGP at the end of the season would make sense due to the symbolic nature of the moment. Similarly, an announcement regarding a contract renewal would also be fitting.
For now, the content of Espargaró’s press conference remains speculative. However, it is certain to be one of the highlights in the lead-up to the Catalan GP.
